ADDITIONAL
BUSINESS
a. City Council Follow -up - Ms. Temple noted that at the last City
Council meeting, the decision of the Planning Commission was
sustained regarding the appeal of use permit for Josh Slocum'$;
an Ordinance was introduced on the changes to appeal and
calls for review procedures of the City Council; and regarding
the Zoning Amendment for Group Living Uses, significant
changes needed to be made and therefore this item will come
back at a future meeting for introduction. A brief discussion on
the appeal process took place.
b. Planning Commission's representative to the Economic
Development Committee - meeting will be held on Wednesday,
September 8th at 8 in the morning to discuss the General Plan
Alternatives.

Planning Commission Minutes 09/09/2004
Goldenrod property that has the free standing 8 -9 foot tall
awning on the roof deck. Following an analysis of the Zone
Code, should the Building Department require the structure to
be attached to the building, it would be regulated as to height by
the Zoning Code. The Building Director has indicated that the
structure has to be attached to the building and couldn't be free
standing in order to be safe. It is therefore regulated by Title 20
and the Building Department has commenced communication
with the property owner regarding its removal.
e. Matters which a Planning Commissioner may wish to place on a
future agenda for action and staff report - none.
f. Status Reports on Planning Commission requests - update was
distributed and discussed.
g. Project status - Chairperson Tucker gave an update on the St.
Andrews Church project.
